Sacha Kurochka

Fantastic service. Very knowledgeable and friendly. It’s in my honest opinion, prices are very reasonable and affordable. Had a tune-up done on my Mercedes, oil change plugs tire rotation and it was a fraction of the cost from the dealer. I strongly recommend.

Diagnostics FAQ

Why is my check engine light on?

Your check engine light can come on for many reasons, from a loose gas cap to engine, emissions, or sensor problems. Our computerized diagnostic equipment reads your vehicle’s fault codes and performs additional testing to accurately identify the cause before any repairs are recommended.

How long does a vehicle diagnostic take?

Most vehicle diagnostic services can be completed in about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the issue. If additional testing is needed to pinpoint an intermittent or complex problem, we’ll explain the process and keep you informed every step of the way.

Can you diagnose electrical problems in my vehicle?

Yes. We diagnose a wide range of automotive electrical issues, including battery drain, charging system problems, faulty wiring, alternator and starter issues, blown fuses, malfunctioning sensors, and other electrical faults affecting your vehicle’s performance.

Should I drive my car if the check engine light is on?

If the check engine light is steady, your vehicle may still be safe to drive for a short time, but it should be diagnosed as soon as possible to prevent further damage. If the light is flashing, it usually indicates a more serious problem that could damage your engine. In that case, it’s best to stop driving and have your vehicle inspected immediately.

How much does an engine diagnostics test cost?

Charge is 40$ plus tax. This is for the scan only and does not include additional parts or labor.
